Yes! Especially telling them “you knew my Nan’s nickname, her favorite color, and that the ring I was wearing was hers!” Ummmm….she was there, she supposedly said it so why are you telling her? no one writes testimonials like this There is also a reason why certain disciplines (health) are not allowed to use testimonials….because they are considered unreliable, made up or possibly paid for or coerced.It has still not occurred to this dim bulb that if any of these testimonials were real these folks would be thrilled to hop on her posts and leave a review. A traceable, verifiable review.
It would never occur to me to text the person I’m reviewing directly with my testimonial of their work. Because that would just be STUPID.
